Sometimes when men try too hard to hide their age or signs of aging, they draw more attention to it and can even make themselves the object of ridicule. so here are some tips to growing old gracefully:

Hair

If it’s going, let it go in other words if your hair is thinning get it cut as short and neat as possible. Don’t be tempted to grow one side and comb it over. Only go for a toupee if you can afford to invest a serious amount of money Your woman would much prefer to be seen out with a bald man than one who looks as if he has a dead animal on his head. If you really can’t stand the thought of going grey, get your hair dyed professionally in a salon. it will look far more natural than the DIY products you can buy at the chemist. Donal McIntyre has managed quite a natural effect for most of his weeks on Dancing on Ice but even in his first week the colourist had got it wrong and the effect was orangey and warm fighting his natural cool colouring.

Clothes

Your waistline is likely to expand as you get older. Avoid the urge to wear the same size trousers as you did in your twenties if you know you are larger. they will just get lower and lower and your tummy will hang over the top Increase the size you buy and wear them at your natural waist.

Beware of wearing clothes that are too young for you or you will look as if you are having a mid-life crisis (similar to the mutton dressed as lamb effect on women). Tight shirts and trousers with skinny ties and fine knit cardigans may look fine on fit, young pop stars but will look a little tragic on the average over 40 male. choose clothes that suit your age, body shape, proportions and lifestyle and if you find this difficult, consider treating yourself to a style consultation.

Colours

As you get older, your colouring will change. Tom Jones has gone from being a clear, with much contrast between his hair and skin tone, to a cool with his silvery grey hair. Don’t think that growing old gracefully means you need to wear large amounts of beige and camel as some more mature men do. This can be aging in itself. Colour will help to keep you looking young. try purples, navy, bright blues, pinks, greys and bright reds as your colouring cools. If in doubt about your colouring (there are 6 dominant types) why not book a colour analysis with an image consultant?

In general, it’s a lot more acceptable for men to grow old gracefully than it is for women. Just look at the amount of older male TV presenters teamed with younger women. Men often look much better (and dare I say sexier) in their 40s, 50s 60s and 70s than they did when they were younger. so, don’t try too hard to conceal your age, embrace it and enjoy the changes it brings

Those with tickets watched Bootsy Collins and Deep Purple, who wound up the festival with a symphonic rendition of Smoke on the Water (their classic hit inspired by a theatre blaze in Montreux in 1971). those without caught the many free concerts in makeshift venues along the shoreline.

The route from Umbria to Montreux had taken me over the Alps, and through some of the most jaw-dropping – and pant-wetting – scenery of my journey. this part of the world is prime riding territory and everyone was out, whether on a three-wheeled, customised monstrosity straight out of Mad Max, or two sporty supercharged wheels with a petite girlfriend fitted as standard.

The bends bordered on ridiculous, winding around vertiginous, awesome mountain faces. like national stereotypes, the Swiss side was calm, measured and unmarked, while on the Italian side, a multitude of signs gesticulate at every opportunity, warning of your impending doom.

The twisty roads soon became intoxicating, but just as I was starting to keep up with the proper bikers – I dropped the bike. As was the case a few weeks back, it was nothing serious (I pulled into a lay-by, turned too quickly and it tipped), but more lessons were learnt. Firstly, when crossing Europe’s largest mountain chain with six months’ riding experience, don’t try to keep up with the big boys. And secondly, pride really does come before a fall.
